George W Bush about Zelensky: “Churchill of our time”

Amid Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression, Volodymyr Zelensky is seen as Winston Churchill of our time.

That’s according to the 43rd President of the United States, George W Bush, who spoke with President Zelensky this morning via a video call.

“I was honored to spend a few minutes talking with President Zelenskyy – the Winston Churchill of our time – this morning. I thanked the President for his leadership, his example, and his commitment to liberty, and I saluted the courage of the Ukrainian people,” Bush wrote on Instagram.

“Americans are inspired by their fortitude and resilience. We will continue to stand with Ukrainians as they stand up for their freedom,” George W Bush concluded.
